Aim for the 4-Hour Workday Instead of 4-Hour Workweek
The goal is not to work 4 hours less but to:
Become Mindful- Notice how you are currently spending your time at work, especially the time wasted doing useless tasks
Deep Work over Shallow Work- Shallow work is busy and unfocused. Deep work, made popular by Cal Newport in a book of the same title, is about working with our attention focused on one thing.

4-Hour Workday is Deep Work and Flow State Combined
Deep Work in a Flow State- A flow state is where we are so wrapped up in the single task at hand and time passes without us noticing because we are accomplishing meaningful work.
A 4-hour workday is possible because we are doing deep work while in a flow state

One hour in the flow state is probably equal to 100 or even 1000 hours of normal state both in terms of output & in terms of joy.

The authors shares a couple points to consider on this aspect of the topic
- Not everyone's work is well suited to a 4-hour work day
- The focus behind the idea, however, is to be more mindful of how we work and see if we can implement a 4-hour focused block of time in our current schedule in an effort to be more efficient.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
